Chapter 160 160

While Tenku and Setsuka were chatting by the lake, someone secretly watched them from afar. He was the scout Shigeru left at Tenku's apartment last night.

When the scout saw Tenku coming out of his apartment in the morning, he quickly reported it to his leader and waited for his instructions.

Shigeru didn't want them acting rashly after being found out by Setsuka yesterday. Because of that, they had to look for opportunities to catch Tenku when he was alone and no one was around.

The scout was curious about where Tenku would go on the morning of his vacation. He hid his presence skillfully and followed Tenku to Tokyo station. After all, he had been a scout for many years and was one of the best at it. But when he arrived at the station, he was shocked after seeing the person Tenku had met.

He saw the boy making an appointment with a girl who looked familiar. The scout knew her because he had met her last night. She is Setsuka Fuyushima, the daughter of the current head of Fuyushima Temple. She was not alone as a little girl with a face similar to hers accompanied her.

The scout quickly deduces that she is related to Setsuka and a member of Fuyushima Temple. Then he was surprised when he saw the little girl clinging to Tenku, and they looked familiar.

Afterward, the scout followed Tenku into the train and arrived at Lake Motosu. He kept his eyes on Tenku and was stunned when he saw what his target was doing. Tenku took a photo with Setsuka, and they looked very intimate, more than just a senior and junior in high school.

The scout was watching them and got bored because Tenku spent a lot of time taking pictures with Setsuka and the little girl. He was increasingly convinced that the relationship between the boy and the daughter of the Fuyushima Temple was not as simple as the information they had gotten.

"What happened? Wasn't that boy supposed to be just a junior to Setsuka in high school? Then why do they look like a couple now!? No! They look like family! I didn't expect that the daughter of Fuyushima Temple would fall in love with an ordinary and weak boy. Is the information we obtained incorrect!?" The scout said in disbelief.

They had checked the information about Tenku in detail before they tried to arrest him and bring the boy before Shigeru.

Tenku comes from an ordinary family living on the outskirts of town. He lost his parents in a space collapse incident near his residence when he was five years old and was raised by a senior Realizer until he was fifteen. After that, he moved into an apartment to live independently.

He was sure that Tenku didn't have a great background. The scout doesn't know what made Setsuka fall in love with him. Setsuka was so beautiful, and he was mesmerized by her. But after knowing that the girl was the daughter of Fuyushima Temple, the scout didn't dare look at her indecently.

Then the scout reported to the leader everything he had seen since Tenku left his apartment to Lake Motosu. He also said they might be dating now because of his suspicions about Tenku and Setsuka's relationship.

At first, the Leader doubted the scout's words. But after he received Setsuka and Tenku's photo, he finally believed it. He was angry because the information they got did not match what they were seeing now.

[So the daughter of the Fuyushima Temple came to that area, not by chance but because she wanted to meet that boy? Is that what you're trying to say?]

The leader asked from the other side of the call.

"Yeah, I'm sure she came to that place, not because of a mission but because of that boy." The scout said.

"Hmm... In that case, you should keep an eye on him. We'll be there in thirty minutes. After that, we will move according to the situation. Boss wants us to catch him today without clashing with Setsuka." The leader couldn't decide what to do before seeing the situation at Lake Motosu.

"I see... Huh!" The scout's body trembled as his eyes suddenly met Tenku's while watching the boy. But it was only momentarily as Tenku shifted his eyes back towards Mount Fuji.

"What happened!? Why did you suddenly stop your words!" The leader shouted because the scout suddenly fell silent in the call.

"Ah, I thought the boy looked at me because he noticed my presence. But it was just a coincidence, and my feelings were overly wary. He was just a first-year student in high school. So there's no way he'd notice my presence and look specifically at me among the hundreds of visitors at Lake Motosu." The scout explained. He was sure that his eyes met with Tenku just by chance.

[You're watching him in your usual way, right?]

The leader asked seriously as he felt uneasy after hearing the scout's words.

"Of course. I had disguised myself very well and saw him from a great distance. Besides, there were a lot of visitors at Lake Motosu on vacation, and I mixed them up. So there's no way that he'll notice me." The scout answered confidently.

[That's good! But you must be alert and not get too close to the target. Please wait for us there! We'll be at lake Motosu soon!]

The leader gave a warning.

"I understand, leader."

The scout answered curtly, and the call was cut off.

"Is it just a coincidence?" The scout recalled when his eyes met Tenku's. It was so scary because he felt the boy was looking directly at him.

"No. It's just my feeling. I can't think about it too much." The scout shook his head to dispel the uneasy feeling in his heart. Then he continued his surveillance of Tenku.

When Tenku looked in a certain direction at lake Motosu, Setsuka was confused by the meaning of his words. She followed his eyes but found nothing but people vacationing in that place.

"Pest? Last night? Did your apartment get dirty after you left on vacation for a few days?" Setsuka asked.

"Yes, it bothered me a little and made my sleep uncomfortable. Because of that, I want to eliminate them as soon as possible." Tenku replied.

"If it's bothering you, I can help you to call an exterminator to your apartment. I know them, and they work professionally and very quickly. I'm sure your apartment will be clean of pests, bugs, or fleas in less than an hour." Setsuka recommended one of her family acquaintances with confidence. She wanted to help Tenku after hearing he had trouble sleeping at night.

"You don't have to do that. I will exterminate the pests myself. Thank you." Tenku refuses Setsuka's help.

"Is that so?" Setsuka lowered her head and felt disappointed when she heard his response. Tenku noticed the girl's change in mood and sighed.

"But if I can't get rid of them today, I will accept your help to call the exterminators to my apartment." Tenku looked at Setsuka and said softly.

"Is that true?" Setsuka raised her head and asked.

"Of course. But for now, let me try doing the extermination myself." Tenku smiled slightly.

"I'd be happy to do that for you. If you have difficulty getting rid of the pests in your apartment, you can contact me directly!" Setsuka said excitedly. Today the girl is completely far from being cold and aloof.

"Yes, I will call you if I need your help. Then, we should return to Kohana. She'll get mad if we leave her alone for too long." Tenku turned around and saw Kohana sitting on the edge of a flower garden playing with the butterflies around her.

"You are right. She will complain, thinking that we have ignored her." Setsuka smiled in response to his words.

Tenku was fascinated when he saw that. He didn't know how often Setsuka had shown that beautiful smile today. It was very bad for his heart.

"Let's go." Tenku quickly regained his senses and looked away from Setsuka. Then he walked away from the girl. If he kept looking at Setsuka's smile, his resolve might waver.

On the other hand, Setsuka noticed Tenku's eyes on him. But she didn't feel disgusted by that look the way she felt from other men. On the contrary, he felt very happy that Tenku was watching him. Setsuka wanted to follow Tenku, but a strong wind suddenly appeared, making Setsuka's dress flutter.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Setsuka screamed cutely. Tenku stopped and turned around when she heard his voice. But then he was shocked when Setsuka's dress was lifted to reveal her beautiful legs and sexy black panties.

Setsuka pressed down on her dress to prevent it from fluttering, and Tenku immediately averted his eyes from her. He wanted to leave the place and pretended he didn't see that. But before Tenku could take a step, Setsuka stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" Setsuka walked closer to Tenku while holding her dress because the wind in that place became stronger. He didn't want the same thing to happen again.

"What is it?" Tenku looked at Setsuka and asked. He put on an innocent face and pretended to know nothing.

"Did you see it? Please be honest with me." Setsuka asked seriously, and her face was as red as an apple. She didn't care if Tenku only saw her legs, but if he saw her underwear, it would not be very pleasant for Setsuka.

"I see it. I apologize." Tenku bowed to Setsuka and quickly admitted it. He knew that lying would be useless because the girl had seen Tenku turn around when she screamed.

"What did you see?" Setsuka posed another question. She hoped that Tenku only saw her leg and nothing else.

"Everything." Tenku answered curtly.

"Then forget what you have seen." Setsuka said and quickly left Tenku without waiting for a reply. She couldn't look at his face any longer as it would embarrass her even more.

"I understand." Tenku raised his head and sighed. After that, he followed Setsuka slowly from behind. He knew that the girl must have been embarrassed after what had happened. So Tenku wanted to give her some time to calm down.

After Tenku arrived at Kohana's place, he wanted to take the two girls to a nearby restaurant because it was already lunchtime. But Setsuka took a pouch from her bag before he could open his mouth. Then a picnic mat and a large food basket appeared in front of him.

"Did you prepare all this?" Tenku looked at Setsuka and asked in a daze.
